About this property

Lovely Dockside Apartment! Located right in the Harbor!

You will never want to leave! Located on the harbor boardwalk this second story apartment has views that are out of this world! Literally there is only one space like this in town! The views are amazing and unobstructed! Watch boats pull in and out of the harbor from Resurrection Bay. Peek out the large living room windows to watch the animals (harbor seals, sea lions, sea otters, birds,) play outside in the water and snag fish from the fish cleaning station! Stare across the bay (watch for breaching whales) into the mountains where you can see glaciers and in the spring an occasional avalanche! Through the bedroom windows you can watch hikers climb the famous Mt. Marathon! Over 4th of July you can watch the race laying in bed! This one bedroom one bathroom apartment really is one in a million and we are eager to share it with you!

Apartment Includes: One Queen Sized Bed, Cable, Internet, Fully Stocked Kitchen, Amazing Views, and One Bathroom (Stall Shower).

It is located one mile from downtown. A free Seward shuttle is available around town. The bus stop is located a few hundred feet from the door.

This VRBO and host hit it out of the park in all areas! The pictures don’t do it justice for views, cleanliness and convenience. Our only regret is we don’t get to stay longer than three nights! Sarah, you were amazing! Thank you!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The location simply cannot be beat! Sarah's place was clean, comfortable, and right at the harbor. We loved watching the boats come and go, and watching the fishermen clean their catch each day. We will stay here again next time we're in Seward.
